2015 MSUPAA Awards Banquet UPDATE

Posted: May 4th, 2015 by Michigan State Alumni Association

The MSUPAA recently hosted a VIP tour of the Clara Bell Smith Center, Skandalaris Building, and the Football Stadium for our $3500 and above sponsors during the afternoon prior to the Packaging Awards Banquet on April 16, 2015. The VIP event was given by members of the MSU Athletic department and alumni of both the athletic department and School of Packaging (Cheryl Gilliam and Travis Key). The tour also incorporated current students of the School of Packaging who participate in an MSU athletic program. This gave our VIP guests a real perspective of what it means to be a student athlete at MSU.

Following the VIP tour, the Fifth Annual Packaging Awards Banquet was held at the Kellogg Center. The Awards Banquet was made possible by support from the MSU Packaging Alumni Association and its sponsors. The evening was about recognizing and thanking the donor organization and the individuals who have supported the students of the school for many years, through event sponsorships and scholarships. The night was designed to acknowledge and showcase students and their accomplishments along with recognizing outstanding Alumni.

It is with the support both through volunteering and sponsorship that the MSUPAA is able to support the students and the school. CONGRATULATIONS to all of the scholarship recipients and our outstanding alumni!

Words to the MSU Fight Song

On the banks of the Red Cedar, Is a school that's known to all,
Its specialty is winning, And those Spartans play good ball,
Spartan Teams are never beaten, All thru the game they fight,
Fight for the only colors, Green and White,

Go right thru for M S U, Watch the points keep growing,
Spartan teams are bound to win, they're fighting with a vim, Rah! Rah! Rah!
See their team is weakening, We're going to win the game,
Fight! Fight! Rah! Team Fight! Victory for M S U,
Up with the colors, Unfurl them on high! Fight! Rah! Team Fight!

2. When from these scenes we wander and twilight shadows fade,
Our memory still will linger Where light and shadows played;
In the evening oft we'll gather And pledge our faith a new,
Sing our love for Alma Mater And thy praises M.S.U.
